Although there are stretches of roadway with good bicycle facilities, Delaware lacks complete bike routes between destinations.  In surveys of cyclists, Kirkwood Highway and Route 4 are consistently among the highest priority for the development of bicycle routes.  These corridors already have a good base of viable infrastructure.  With paint and signage, plus a few projects to remedy pinch points, a route can be created at relatively low cost.

The proposed routes (see links below) were created by cyclists who regularly bike this corridor for transportation.  DelDOT is aware of the routes and is willing to consider implementation.  However, the agency lacks funding and a plan to proceed with their creation.  We are therefore asking the public to lend support for these routes and to encourage DelDOT to move forward.

Creation of an on-road bicycle route between Wilmington and Newark is an important step towards creating bicycle route networks that will allow the residents of Delaware to safely get where they need to go by bike.

[When you sign this petition, please note why it is important to you, as this will help DelDOT take the petition more seriously.]
